READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. HE’S COUNTING ON YOU – PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH 2016
For I am not ashamed of the
gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that
believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek (Romans 1:16).
As Christians, we’ve
received the mandate to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth; it’s a most
sublime and high calling. It’s something you’re to do with all boldness, faith,
courage, and conviction. You must never be ashamed or apologetic about Christ
and the message of the Gospel. Don’t be ashamed of who you are in Him, and
don’t let others make you ashamed of what you believe. Paul said, “…I am not
ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to
everyone that believeth…” (Romans 1:16).
It’s only the Gospel that
can catapult the sinner to salvation and righteousness. It’s only through the
preaching of the Gospel that the righteousness of God can be unveiled and
embraced. So, there’re no options to the Gospel. Its power and efficacy are
incontrovertible; it’s the only message that, when received, makes sinners sons
of God, in a moment of time.
In 2 Timothy 1:13, Paul
said to Timothy, “Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of
me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.” That means the words of the
Gospel are potent, filled with inspiration, power and divine energy. No sinner
should be around you over a period without being transformed and impacted by
the power of the Gospel that you bear. Be determined about that. Be so fired up
with the Gospel that its impact in men’s lives, and spread around the world is
all that matters to you.
The Bible says those that
turn many to righteousness shall shine as stars forever (Daniel 12:3); shine
for the Master by making an impact with the Gospel. Go the extra mile. Like
Jesus, let your meat (what matters the most to you) be to do the will of the
Father, and finish His work (John 4:34). Let it be what you live for. He’s
counting on you for the salvation of many in your world, and in the regions
beyond. Therefore, be faithful in your responsibility as a soul winner.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you
for entrusting me with the divine responsibility of reaching those in my world
and in distant lands with the message of eternal life. The light of your
glorious Gospel that I bear dispels the darkness in the hearts of the
unconverted, destroying the bonds of religion and establishing them in your
righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: || Matthew
28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always,
[even] unto the end of the world. Amen. ||
|| 2 Corinthians 3:6 Who
also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but
of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. ||
|| 1 Corinthians 9:16 For
though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid
upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! ||
